The New York Post<\/a> saw at least 10 individuals across Queens advertising the false documents for $80-$250.<\/p>\nThe documents may allow the migrant to create a bank account and possibly obtain a driver\u2019s license, the outlet noted.<\/p>\n
If illegal immigrants obtain fake IDs, one could \u201cload up a truck with bombs \u2026 and bring it underneath the Holland Tunnel and create something major and disastrous,\u201d former special agent in Homeland Security investigations Bruce Foucart said. \u201cFor someone that wants to do terrorist activity or is a national security threat, it\u2019s easy to establish this second life within the US.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that under the United States\u2019 illegal immigration issue,\u201d the country is \u201cjust waiting for another 9\/11.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Post described several encounters between the document forgers and customers, writing, \u201cOne black-market seller brought a reporter into a stairwell beneath a barber shop, where he asked the scribe to enter his name, age and country of origin into a phone. The salesmen initially asked for $200 for a green card and social security card, but the price was negotiated down to $80. The Post didn\u2019t buy the cards.\u201d<\/p>\n
In another incident, one salesman told a reporter that the cards \u201cwork.\u201d To make an ID, the individual said he needed \u201cyour name, your whole name, your age . . . I can take your picture.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the social security cards are fake, the numbers are real and affect U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n
Associate Professor at the Department of Criminal Justice at the Citadel, South Carolina, Roy Fenoff, said, \u201cIf I\u2019m using a social security number that\u2019s of another person, and then I\u2019m committing crimes, and I\u2019m using [their] name, you potentially have warrants out there for innocent people\u2019s arrest, because you don\u2019t really know who this person was.\u201d<\/p>\n
